Guest stevo Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Evening all . like most of us I have been very patiently waiting for my harvest shooting to begin , over the past few weeks I have thinking about maybe a new O/U was on the cards , however I wanted something handy but a little different from my usual type of pigeon gun , Also that didn't want a lot of money spending on it , got a call from my RFD on Friday dinnertime saying that he might have just what I was looking for , as I done him a good turn the other day he said he would wave his commission and let me have it at t what he bought it for , so off I went . when I walked in I was presented with this little cracker ( pics below ) its a 1970 Grade 1 BC Miroku MK 3800 Skeet with 26" barrels , fixed chokes at 1/4 and 1/4 ( I checked them and I would say 3/8 and 3/8 ) I have had a kwik go at shooting skeet with it and I must its great fun , but VERY FAST in the shoulder , but looking forward to getting in the hide with it . anyway I bit his hand of at £300.00 https://carousel.dropbox.com/photos/cc/yONo2sMH5mJ3eya https://carousel.dropbox.com/photos/cc/liJL5CKtT5HCegA https://carousel.dropbox.com/photos/cc/3wDge8yDFNW9SSZ https://carousel.dropbox.com/photos/cc/3wDge8yDFNW9SSZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 does anyone know where I can get some proper info on this gun ? for the record the serial number on the gun does not have the date letters at the end of the number. the BC Miroku's just had a number . any info will very much appreciated .

Zetter Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 That's very tidy Stevo I am surprised he had an arm left for that sort of money bargain of the decade there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Tidy but the barrels are wrong, some fool put one on top of the other one! One too many barrels I recon, can't beat an auto! on the plus side it's cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yes i too am a fan of the semi auto . But i love shooting O/Us as well . In a strange way it sort of feels a bit more traditional . Not a lot . But a bit more . And its a proper old school O/U . NO forcing cones . No back boring . Just two steel tubes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redditch Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 miruku are very good guns, and in fact they make many of the guns sold as "browning" too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravanman Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Nice. I like a 28" sxs for crow shooting from a hide, nice and handy, picking up an old Eibar in a couple of days. Have you stopped using the Extrema? What cartridge are you planning on using through the open chokes?
